 It's as with procmail... a tool giving you the power to use e-mail just the
way you want it.

 Personally I'm using Pine, set to show just a few headers; but all the headers
(along with the rest of the predecoded e-mail and all the mime-stuff etc) is
just an 'h' away.
 Easy to read the e-mail quickly, easy to have a closer look at it, the way _I_
want it. =)
